If I can stop one heart from breaking I shall not live in vain.
A Mexican’s face is a mask and so is his smile.
Once the party of the Working Man, Democrats have become the party of the Screaming Woman.
When you meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.
There is no more Left or Right. There are only Globalists or Nationalists.
What’s the point of calling yourself a liberal if you don’t allow anyone else to have a different view?
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.
What is your fair share of what someone else has earned?
You may not like war, but war likes you.
The usurpation of the word “liberal” by the left has been a catastrophe.
It is scarcely the same thing to put a man on the moon as to put a bone in your nose.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
Life is just one damn thing after another.
Soooo perfect!

If a parent, having his child in tow, robs a bank and is forthwith apprehended, law enforcement does separate parent and child, right? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Thanks for clearing that up.

Ms. Shoes: I made this very point in one of the comments on the previous post that focused on this situation. A commenter said it was IMMORAL (his caps) to ever separate a child from a parent. Of course, it’s done regularly with criminals sent to the slammer in the U.S., and the fault is not that of the courts or police. It’s the fault of the law-breaker.

I read in the paper this morning that a 6-year-old boy was abandoned in the desert just north of the line by his supposed “uncle.” That would be a death sentence for the child if the border patrol didn’t find him. Luckily, he was found, but what about all of the kids that weren’t found?
Somewhere, there is someone that is the intellectual author of this movement. Someone organizes it and funds it. That desert is full of bones.

Señor Gill: From what I’ve read, it’s next to impossible to determine if the adults are actually the parents of the kids with them. The Obama Administration got this kiddie thing going, essentially broadcasting that if you arrive with a child, it’s a free pass into America.

I am surprised that they don’t do a DNA test, which would prove incisive to their claim. Again arguing against logic with people is a lesson in futility to the max.

You excel at making a point of the obvious, señor.
I just attempted to read the morning paper here in my pueblo in TX (no longer a local rag, now owned and operated by USA Today), and it is filled with hate Trump messaging in each paragraph. Most of that at the moment is, of course, this “separate the innocent children” nonsense.
And these newspaper folks run ads in every issue pointing to themselves as the “real news.”
All of this is hard on an old Gringo who has no problem seeing the truth around him.

I have yet to see any of the mainstream “misledia” questioning the judgment of parents who take small children on long, dangerous journeys with plans to violate a law and then face high odds of capture and trial.
Doesn’t that sound like a bad idea, prima facie?
Nor do the media seem to consider that by not separating the children you are the incarcerating children for the sins of the fathers. Is that a good thing? The 9th circuit, a famously liberal court, didn’t seem to think so when it ruled that such incarceration was illegal.
The simplest answer here is for folks to stop trying to cross the border illegally.
And that’s the last one the “misledia” wants us to consider.
Sad!
